Sound- design and make some sound mufflers.Sound happens when something vibrates. Sounds are transmitted through air or another material. Sound can travel through all kinds of materials like stone, brick, water and glass. Sound cannot travel through a vacuum because there is nothing to vibrate.We hear sounds when the vibrating air hits our eardrums. This vibration is picked up by our brains.The more energy in the vibration- the louder the sound.This week we you have a major challenge.Science- what is the best material to muffle sound? The Rock Stars of the world need your help!!!They want their children to be able to come to their concerts, but they are worried about their precious hearing.
